FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Words such as expects, intends,
anticipates, should, believes, will, plans, estimates, may, variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise. Our future prospects are difficult to evaluate. There are many factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include: ability to generate sufficient cash flow or secure additional sources of financing; future customer revenue; if we file for
bankruptcy protection or sell all or substantially all of our assets it is unlikely that existing shareholders would receive any value for their shares.; our errors and omissions insurance coverage may not cover contractual disputes; defects or
other limitations in our software; complaints filed by customers, shareholders, or other third parties and other litigation or disputes; inability or failure to meet certain contractual obligations; variability of quarterly operating results;
ability to adequately anticipate employee and resource utilization rates; lengthy and variable sales cycles; dependence on a small number of customers; revenues have historically come from a small number of vertical industries; ability to divest
vertical applications products; ability to license the Universal Application; attraction, training, and retention of employees and key management; protection of intellectual property; international political and economic uncertainty; a majority of
our stock is owned by a few persons; anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents; and other competitive factors. Such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, general domestic and international
economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations and other factors. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is
contained from time to time in documents filed by TenFold Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to, the most recent reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. Some of these factors are described under the section
entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Factors That May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Stock.

TENFOLD CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by
TenFold Corporation (TenFold) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In managements opinion, the interim financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior periods financial statements to conform to the current periods presentation. Certain information required by generally
accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for any future period or for the year ending December 31, 2002.
This report should
be read in conjunction with TenFolds audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions, including for example, estimated project costs and profitability and accounts receivable allowances. These assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
TenFolds financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that TenFold will continue as a going concern. The independent auditors report on our December 31, 2001 financial
statements, prepared by KPMG LLP, included an explanatory paragraph relating to their substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. TenFold has been operationally cash flow negative for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. This ongoing negative cash flow has continued to place a burden on TenFold to obtain cash infusions beyond those generated from normal operations. TenFold continues to seek additional
sources of financing such as new sales to existing and new customers, asset sales or equity financing, to sustain its operations. TenFold is overdue in paying various creditors, including significant amounts owed to equipment lessors, and landlords
of unoccupied office leases. TenFold is in active discussions to reduce or eliminate many of these liabilities. If TenFold is unable to satisfactorily negotiate the elimination or reduction of these liabilities, it may require TenFold to seek to
reorganize the company under Chapter #11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, to restructure most or all of these remaining liabilities and then emerge with a much lower on-going cash outflow burden.
2. Revenue Recognition
TenFold derives revenues from license fees, subscription fees, applications development and implementation services, support, and training services. License revenues consist of fees for licensing the Universal Application as a tool,
and license fees for the applications that TenFold owns and resells. Subscription revenue consists of fees for licensing the Universal Application, licensing new product releases of TenFolds ComponentWare, providing related time-and-material
consulting, training, and support services during a subscription period. Service revenues consist of fees for applications development and implementation, support and training.
TenFold follows the provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as modified by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2
with Respect to Certain Transactions, and Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, in recognizing revenue under each of its contracts.
7
TenFold generally enters into contracts that involve multiple elements, such as
software products, enhancements, postcontract customer support, training, and time-and-material services. TenFold allocates a portion of the contract fee to each undelivered element based on the relative fair values of the elements and
allocates the fee for delivered software products using the residual method.
For service revenue accounted for
under SOP 81-1, TenFold generally estimates a profit range and recognizes revenue as costs are incurred. TenFold adjusts the estimates as work progresses under the contract and TenFold gains experience.
For certain contracts for which reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made or for which inherent hazards make our estimates doubtful,
TenFold recognizes revenue under the completed-contract method of contract accounting.
For certain contracts,
including a subscription to future software products when and if they become available, TenFold recognizes the fees for the software products ratably over the subscription term beginning with delivery of the first software product. For contracts
that include a service element for which the fair value is undeterminable, and the contract includes a subscription to new product releases on a when and if available basis, TenFold recognizes the entire contract fee ratably over the
subscription period as subscription revenue.
TenFolds deferred revenue balance generally results from
contractual commitments made by customers to pay amounts to TenFold in advance of revenues earned. TenFolds unbilled accounts receivable represents revenue that TenFold has earned but which TenFold has not yet billed.

Employee stock options of 12,543,186 outstanding during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002, that have a weighted average exercise price of $2.80, that could potentially

dilute basic earnings per share in the future, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have
been anti-dilutive for the periods.
Employee stock options of 13,014,870 and 15,586,420 outstanding during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, that have a weighted average exercise price of $11.07 and $9.31 per share, respectively, and that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods.
4. Restricted Cash
Restricted cash relates to $66,000 held as
collateral for TenFolds letter of credit obligations used to secure a lease on office space in Dallas, Texas; and $93,000 held to support various other accounts payable activities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, in connection with TenFolds termination of excess office space capacity in Salt Lake City, Utah, TenFold released to
the landlord $1.5 million previously held as restricted cash to support these leases. See Notes 7 and 9 for more information.
5. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

6. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 31, 2002 relates primarily to foreign taxes. The benefit for income
taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 relates primarily to reversing accrued Federal alternative minimum taxes from 2001 due to recently enacted tax legislation. No tax benefit was recorded during the nine months ended September 30,
2002 for TenFolds net operating losses.
The valuation allowance as of September 30, 2002 was recorded in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that a valuation allowance be established when there is significant uncertainty as to the
realizability of deferred tax assets.
7. Commitments
TenFold has commitments under long-term operating leases, principally for office space and computer equipment. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable
operating leases, in excess of one year and excluding amounts accrued as part of restructurings, at September 30, 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

In 2000, TenFold entered into a 10-year lease for 105,068 square feet of office
space in South Jordan, Utah. The lease commenced in March 2002. This lease is an operating lease. In April 2002, TenFold negotiated with the developer to extend the term of the lease to eleven years and to reduce its monthly payment obligations for
the first year. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, TenFold negotiated a termination of the unoccupied portions of this lease reducing the square footage leased from 105,068 to 22,310 square feet, reducing the term from 11 years to 5
years, and reducing the rental rate per square foot. This reduced TenFolds total base rent obligations (before operating expenses) under this lease by approximately $19 million over the term of the lease. As part of this transaction, TenFold
released to the landlord $1.5 million previously held as restricted cash to support these leases.
Operating lease
payment obligations for properties that have been restructured are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2002. See Note 9 for more information.
TenFold has a stand-by letter of credit for $66,000, used to secure a lease on office space in Dallas, Texas, which will terminate by
December 31, 2003. This letter of credit has not been drawn upon at September 30, 2002.
8. Legal Proceedings
and Contingencies
Resolved Disputes
During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, TenFold settled disputes with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Perot Systems. In neither of these settlement agreements did any party admit liability.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
On April 30, 2002, TenFold and Cedars-Sinai entered into a number of agreements, including a Settlement Agreement, which provide a basis to resolve a dispute between the
parties and beneficially restructure the relationship between the parties. The Settlement Agreement provides for a three-phased release of Cedars-Sinais alleged claims against TenFold, a release of TenFolds potential claims against
Cedars-Sinai and a restructuring of the parties business arrangement. As part of the resolution, Cedars-Sinai assumed the obligations of completing the Patient Care Expert (PCX) application facilitated in part by the transfer of
employees from TenFold to Cedars-Sinai. That application build was completed in July 2002. Cedars-Sinai took PCX into production in October 2002 and is in the process of continuing to rollout the application. TenFold will continue to provide
Universal Application license rights and support to Cedars-Sinai. Under the agreements, TenFold will also provide certain Universal Application training to Perot Systems Corporation (Perot), an interested party to the original
transaction, and a continuing participant in the restructured venture. As part of the arrangement, TenFold also granted a subsidiary of Cedars-Sinai a license to resell the Universal Application in connection with their selling the PCX application
in the hospital and healthcare provider market globally. On May 14, 2002, Cedars-Sinai sent a letter rejecting certain Universal Application modification work delivered by TenFold as part of Phase I of the Settlement Agreement. On June 7, 2002,
Cedars-Sinai sent another letter agreeing to consider TenFolds position relative to Univeral Application modifications. The Universal Application modifications challenged by Cedars-Sinai are in use in the application now in production. On May
15, 2002, Cedars-Sinai sent a separate letter alleging certain breaches of the Settlement Agreement. TenFold has denied the alleged breaches and the parties continue to work to document resolution of their disputes. Should TenFold fail to meet
certain obligations under the Settlement Agreement, Cedars-Sinai may reassert certain claims against TenFold.
10
Should Cedars-Sinai fail to meet certain obligations under the Settlement Agreement, TenFold may reassert certain claims against Cedars-Sinai.
If Cedars-Sinai were to reassert its claims, an unfavorable outcome of the matter may have a material adverse impact on TenFolds business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Perot Systems
On April 30, 2002, TenFold and Perot entered into a number of agreements, including a Compromise and Settlement Agreement, resolving a dispute between the parties and beneficially restructuring the relationship between the
parties. As part of the resolution, Perot agreed to withdraw the demand for arbitration without prejudice and TenFold provided Perot with a limited license to the Universal Application and agreed to provide Perot with certain Universal Application
training. Perot also agreed to issue a general release to TenFold, which would include the arbitration claim, when TenFold has provided the Universal Application training to Perot and met other conditions precedent relating to the Cedars-Sinai
project noted above. TenFold continues to fulfill its agreements with Perot. The first group of Perot trainees is expected to complete their six month on-the-job training by January 15, 2003. If we continue to fulfill our agreements with Perot, the
other conditions precedent will be met by January 16, 2003. If TenFold fails to meet certain obligations, Perot may reinstate its demand for arbitration. If the Perot fails to meet certain obligations, TenFold may seek damages. If Perot were to
reinstate its demand for arbitration, an unfavorable outcome of the matter may have a material adverse impact on TenFolds business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Unresolved Customer Dispute
TenFold has one
unresolved customer dispute.
SkyTel
In March 2001, SkyTel Communications, Inc. (SkyTel) orally informed TenFold of its intent to terminate the Master Software License and Services Agreement
between SkyTel and TenFold (the SkyTel Agreement). On May 15, 2001, SkyTel sent TenFold a letter purporting to terminate the SkyTel Agreement based on TenFolds alleged material breach of the SkyTel Agreement. SkyTels letter
also demands a refund of approximately $11 million paid by SkyTel. On September 24, 2001, SkyTel filed a complaint against TenFold in the First Circuit Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi. SkyTel seeks monetary damages
of at least $17.5 million, plus other damages it may prove at trial, together with pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees and expenses and costs. On November 13, 2001, TenFold filed an answer denying the material allegations of the
complaint. TenFold also filed a counterclaim for unpaid fees and SkyTels disclosure of confidential information. TenFolds counterclaim seeks damages of at least $7 million and punitive damages of at least $10 million. The total contract
value involved in this customer dispute is approximately $17.6 million, of which $11.4 million has been received by TenFold to date. An unfavorable outcome of this matter may have a material adverse impact on TenFolds business, results of
operations, financial position, or liquidity. During 2002, TenFold has recognized no revenue from the SkyTel Agreement. For the three months ended September 30, 2001 TenFold recognized no revenue from the SkyTel Agreement, and recognized $263,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The parties stayed discovery and attempted negotiations to settle
the dispute. However, resolution has been impeded by the bankruptcy filing of SkyTels parent company, WorldCom, Inc. Based on negotiations, TenFold believes that a loss is probable. TenFold believes that the supplemental extended reporting
period insurance policy covers some of the damages that may arise in the dispute. TenFolds insurance carrier has authorized a settlement offer that has been communicated to SkyTel. TenFold has recorded an other current liability to SkyTel for
the offer, and an other current asset for the receivable from the insurance carrier, in the accompanying balance sheet. Although, if the offer is accepted, the payment from the insurance carrier would be made directly from the insurance carrier to
SkyTel and none of the funds would flow through TenFold. An unfavorable outcome in the matter may have a material adverse impact on
11
TenFolds business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Summary and Insurance
As a result of the legal
proceedings and contingencies noted above, TenFold has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $296,000 related to billed accounts receivable.
TenFold maintained errors and omissions and umbrella liability insurance coverage to protect itself in the event of claims for damages related to the performance of computer-related services or the
failure to perform computer-related services that occurred after March 1, 1998, but prior to March 1, 2001. TenFold does not believe that the dispute with SkyTel will be covered by TenFolds original errors and omissions and umbrella liability
insurance coverage. However, TenFold also maintained a $2 million supplemental extended reporting period policy on one of TenFolds prior errors and omissions liability policies. TenFold believes that this supplementary extended reporting
insurance policy covers some of the types of alleged damages (but not unpaid or unbilled accounts receivable) claimed in the SkyTel dispute noted above, subject to the policys total limit, and the insurance carriers standard reservation
of rights. TenFold also believes that this supplementary extended reporting insurance policy may cover the costs of legal defense of the SkyTel dispute, subject to the policys total limit, and any stated reservation of rights by the carrier
regarding conditions or findings that might exclude coverage for a particular matter. TenFold has begun to use a portion of this supplemental extended reporting insurance policy in defending the SkyTel dispute. TenFold has reserved against certain
of the billed accounts receivable related to the disputed amounts for which a loss is considered probable and estimable. An unfavorable outcome of any of these matters may have a material adverse impact on TenFolds business, results of
operations, financial position, or liquidity.
On March 1, 2001, TenFold secured an industry-standard, errors and
omissions policy that covers claims made after March 1, 2001. TenFold renewed this policy on March 1, 2002. TenFolds new policy excludes contractual related disputes such as cost and time guarantees, and only covers software errors or
omissions that occur after the delivery of software. TenFold believes this policy provides adequate coverage for potential damages related to errors and omissions in TenFolds delivered software.
Stockholder Matters
On or after August 12, 2000, six complaints were filed in the United States District Court of Utah alleging that TenFold and certain of TenFolds officers violated certain federal securities laws. All six complaints were
virtually identical and allege that 1) TenFold improperly recognized revenues on some of TenFolds projects; 2) TenFold failed to maintain sufficient accounting reserves to cover the risk of contract disputes or cancellations; 3) TenFold issued
falsely optimistic statements that did not disclose these accounting issues; and 4) TenFold insiders sold stock in early calendar year 2000 while knowing about these issues. On TenFolds motion, the court consolidated the six complaints into
one class action complaint. On May 1, 2001, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint. TenFold filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on June 19, 2001. On March 19, 2002, the court granted TenFolds motion to dismiss the
amended complaint, but allowed the plaintiffs leave to make a motion to amend their complaint. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion to amend their complaint and TenFold filed a written response. The parties then reached an agreement for
settlement of the action. The agreement calls for a payment by TenFolds insurer of $5.9 million to a class of TenFold shareholders and their attorneys in return for a dismissal with prejudice of the actions and a release of all claims asserted
in the actions. The court is scheduled to hear argument on final approval of the settlement on December 9, 2002. TenFold has recorded an other current liability to the plaintiffs for the settlement offer, and an other current asset for the
receivable from the insurance carrier, in the accompanying balance sheet. Although, if the settlement is approved, the payment from the insurance carrier would be made directly from the insurance carrier to the plaintiffs and none of the funds would
flow through TenFold. An unfavorable outcome in the matter may have a material adverse impact on TenFolds business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
12
On November 6, 2001, a class action complaint alleging violations of the federal
securities laws was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming as defendants TenFold, certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters of TenFolds initial public offering. An amended
complaint was filed on April 24, 2002, which alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of TenFolds initial public offering violated the securities laws by failing to disclose certain alleged compensation arrangements (such as
undisclosed commissions or stock stabilization practices) in the offerings registration statement and by engaging in manipulative practices to artificially inflate the price of TenFolds stock in the after-market subsequent to the initial
public offering. TenFold defendants are named in the amended complaint pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on the basis of an alleged failure to disclose the
underwriters alleged compensation arrangements and manipulative practices. The individual officer and director defendants entered into tolling agreements and, pursuant to a Court Order dated October 9, 2002, were dismissed from the litigation
without prejudice. Similar complaints have been filed against over 300 other issuers that have had initial public offerings since 1998. TenFold is vigorously defending this action and expects that the costs of defense and/or resolution will be
covered by insurance. Although no assurance can be given that this matter will be resolved in TenFolds favor, TenFold believes that the resolution of this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on TenFolds financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. If this matter is not covered by insurance and if there is an unfavorable outcome, there may be a material adverse impact on TenFolds business.
SEC Inquiry
On May 26, 2000, the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a Formal Order Directing Private Investigation. The Order contained no specific factual allegations. Since February 2001, the SEC has taken testimony from several of TenFolds
independent auditors and current and former customers, executives and staff.
On March 20, 2002, TenFold and five
of its current and former officers and employees received notices from the SECs Denver regional office indicating that the staff intends to recommend that the SEC commence fraud and non-fraud (books and records) enforcement proceedings against
TenFold and these individuals. On November 14, 2002, the companys directors voted to approve a settlement of the dispute with the SEC by consenting to entry of a judgment permanently enjoining the company from violating a number of anti-fraud
and books-and-records provisions of the securities laws. The judgment will not provide for any monetary payments or penalties. The company expects that the SECs staff will shortly file a complaint against TenFold and several former officers
and one current officer. The staff will simultaneously submit to the court the companys consent to entry of judgment. The companys consent will state that it neither admits nor denies the allegations contained in SECs complaint.
Following entry by the court of the judgment consented to by the company, the litigation between the company and the SEC will end, and the company will be subject to the courts permanent injunction against future violations of the securities
laws.
9. Special Charges
Special charges for the three months ended September 30, 2002 include restructuring charges of $1.1 million. Special charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
include restructuring charges of $1.7 million and a $24,000 asset impairment charge. Special charges for the three months ended September 30, 2001 include $776,000 in restructuring charge adjustments and a $135,000 asset impairment charge. Special

Asset Impairment Charge. During the
three months ended September 30, 2002, TenFold incurred no asset impairment charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, TenFold identified $24,000 of fixed assets that had no future value to TenFold and are no longer in active use, and
accordingly recorded an asset impairment charge of $24,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, TenFold restructured operations to reduce operating expenses, including closing
several facilities, and recorded related asset impairment charges of $135,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, for leasehold improvements, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, and other assets that it determined had no future value to TenFold
and were no longer in active use.
2002 Restructuring Charges. During the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2002, TenFold incurred restructuring charges of $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, including $1.1 million, related to termination of the unoccupied portions of TenFolds South Jordan Utah headquarters
lease, and $562,000, related to adjustments made to prior restructuring estimates. The termination of the unoccupied portions of the South Jordan lease reduced the square footage leased from 105,068 to 22,310 square feet, reduced the term from 11
years to 5 years, and reduced the rental rate per square foot. This reduced TenFolds total base rent obligations (before operating expenses) under this lease by approximately $19 million over the term of the lease. As part of this transaction,
TenFold released to the landlord $1.5 million previously held as restricted cash to support these leases. The restructuring charge of $1.1 million is comprised of a charge of $1.5 million for release of the restricted cash, less the reversal of a
prior rent accrual of $400,000 no longer needed under the terms of the restructured lease. The adjustments to prior restructuring estimates primarily resulted from higher facilities lease termination payments, and lower revised estimates of future
facilities sublease income payments, than previously estimated.
2001 Restructuring
Charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, TenFold incurred restructuring charges of $776,000 and $4.7 million, respectively, as part of its efforts to reduce operating expenses.
10. Operating Segments
TenFolds CEO reviews financial information on a consolidated basis, identical in format to the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. TenFold consolidates revenue and expense
information for all other business groups for internal and external reporting and for decision-making purposes. TenFold operates in a single operating segment, which is applications products and services.
Revenues from operations outside of North America were approximately 13 percent of total revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2002 as compared to 25 percent of total revenues for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, revenues from operations outside of North America were approximately 20 percent as compared to 28 percent of total
revenues for the same period in the prior year. TenFolds long-lived assets continue to be deployed predominantly in the United States.
Two customers accounted for 64 percent, and 18 percent of TenFolds total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to three customers accounting for 18 percent, 14 percent,
and 14 percent of TenFolds total revenues for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, two customers accounted for 62 percent, and 11 percent of TenFolds total revenues, compared to two customers accounting
for 27 percent, and 17 percent of TenFolds total revenues for the same period in 2001. No other single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of TenFolds total revenues for the three or nine months ended September
14
30, 2002, or the same periods in 2001.
11. Acquisition and Disposition
On
October 7, 1999, TenFold purchased the entire equity interest of Barclays California Corporation (Barclays) in its wholly owned subsidiary, The LongView Group, Inc. (LongView). On March 15, 2001, TenFold sold LongView for
$29.0 million to Linedata Services. Accordingly, the operations of LongView have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for TenFold from the acquisition through March 15, 2001. The acquisition was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, TenFold was notified by Barclays that it needed to reimburse Barclays for an office lease deposit Barclays had maintained for LongView. TenFold researched the matter and
agreed to reimburse Barclays $120,000 for the office lease deposit, and reflected this obligation as a reduction of its gain on sale of LongView.
The gain recognized on the sale of LongView is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Fusion Capital Transaction |
In February 2002, TenFold entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital), in connection with a private
equity line financing transaction pursuant to which TenFold may offer and sell to Fusion Capital up to $10,000,000 of our Common Stock, over a period of up to 40 months. As a condition to Fusion Capitals obligation to make purchases under the
Purchase Agreement, the Common Stock to be offered and sold to Fusion Capital must be registered in an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Once the registration statement is effective, TenFold may make draws
under the equity line, and can elect to draw up to $250,000 per month so long as TenFolds stock price exceeds $0.25. TenFolds stock has recently traded below $0.25 per share and TenFold is considering whether to file the registration
statement. The Purchase Agreement required the registration statement to be filed by March 29, 2002. Consequently, Fusion Capital may elect to cancel the Purchase Agreement. Through September 30, 2002, TenFold has incurred expenses of $282,000 in
connection with the Fusion Capital private equity line.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from
the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. TenFold is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. TenFold is currently
evaluating the impact this statement will have on TenFolds results of operations and financial position.
In
November 2001, the FASB issued an announcement, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expense Incurred. The announcement requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out of pocket
expenses as revenues in the statement of operations. Historically, TenFold netted reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses against the related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The announcement
is to be applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and comparative financial statements for the prior year are to be reclassified to comply with the guidance in the announcement. TenFold adopted this announcement on
January 1, 2002. The adoption of this announcement resulted in increased revenues and expenses by the same amount in each period of $310,000 and $448,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $871,000 and $2.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 145 Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 eliminates Statement 4 (and Statement 64, as it amends Statement 4), which requires gains and losses from
extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 145
amends FASB Statement No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions are accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, SFAS No. 145 makes technical
corrections to some existing pronouncements. TenFold is required to adopt the provisions related to the rescission of Statements 4 and 64 on January 1, 2003, and for all transactions entered into beginning May 15, 2002 adopt the provision related to
the amendment of Statement 13. TenFold is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on their results of operations and financial position. TenFold has not had transactions since May 15, 2002 affected by these provisions.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No.
146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when the entity commits to an exit plan
under EITF No. 94-3. TenFold is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. TenFold is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on TenFolds future
business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
14. Subsequent Events
During October 2002, TenFold reduced its workforce significantly, as part of its continuing effort to reduce operating costs
and improve cash flow.
During October 2002, TenFold entered into an asset purchase and reseller agreement with
Redi2 Technologies. Under the terms of the agreement, Redi2 purchased Revenue Manager, a
16
billing and accounting application for asset management service providers. Redi2 Technologies plans to
market Revenue Manager to the asset management industry and resell Universal Application as the technology platform underlying Revenue Manager.
During October 2002, TenFold executed an agreement with its primary lender under which TenFold paid a significantly reduced amount to retire its entire bank debt and eliminated a related lien on
TenFolds intellectual property. The bank debt retired is classified as Current Installments of Notes Payable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During October 2002, TenFold sold the entire equity interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, TenFold Systems UK Limited, to the management of that subsidiary. TenFold has
previously distributed and supported its products in the United Kingdom through TenFold Systems UK Limited. Under the terms of this transaction, TenFold Systems UK Limited will continue to distribute TenFold products in the United Kingdom and
provide local support to its customers. TenFold will provide support for the Universal Application to TenFold Systems UK Limited and will share with TenFold Systems UK Limited revenues from existing and future TenFold Systems UK Limited customers.
TenFold will recognize any gain or loss on sale of TenFold Systems UK Limited during Q4 2002. TenFold is in the process of determining such gain or loss from this transaction.
During November 2002, TenFold announced that its common stock was de-listed from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and now trades on the OTC Bulletin Board Market.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Business Overview
TenFold is the provider of the Universal Application, a software applications platform that accelerates development and deployment and reduces costs of maintaining
complex enterprise applications. The Universal Application automates most of what applications programmers typically do, and thereby enables small teams of predominantly non-technical business users to design, build, test, deploy, and maintain
complex, transaction- and database- intensive applications, with limited demand on scarce IT resources.
We
believe that the Universal Application platform makes building complex, replacement and Internet-ready applications three to ten times cheaper, easier, and faster than traditional applications development methodologies. TenFold customers have proven
that primarily non-technical business people can use the Universal Application to build better applications faster and cheaper than traditional approaches due to the business peoples detailed understanding of their business requirements.
Consequently, our business model focuses on providing the Universal Application, and our assistance through time-and-materials consulting and training, to customers who use their own business teams and our systems implementation partners to build
applications.
While there are many companies supplying applications development tools, we believe that there is
no other applications platform supplier with technology capable of addressing the scale and robustness required by the complex applications that we and our customers have built using Universal Application.
We founded TenFold in 1993, and spent the first several years primarily engaged in developing our patented Universal Application
technology. In 1996, we began using the Universal Application to develop applications for customers. In 1998, we began reselling vertical applications products that we had developed for our initial customers. In 1999, we completed our initial public
offering. In 1999 and early 2000, we signed several large, fixed-price, build-for-hire contracts with customers, hired many new employees, and launched eight subsidiaries. Beginning in 2000, we experienced several difficult quarters and faced
significant financial, legal, and operational issues. During 2000 and continuing through today, we have taken steps to address those issues.
Strong support from our customers for both TenFold and its Universal Application technology enabled management to reorganize TenFold as a software product company focused on delivering the value of its
core technology asset, the Universal Application. In 2002, we intend to build the business and marketing foundation for our emergence as a growth technology company by addressing two principal business priorities: continuing to meet customer
expectations and building Universal Application sales and marketing .
During 2001, we began discussions to
establish strategic distribution alliances and value added resellers (VAR) relationships. We believe that such relationships will accelerate and broaden market distribution of Universal Application for us at a significantly lower cost
and greater speed than we could achieve on our own.
During 2002 we have made steady progress in establishing
strategic distribution alliances. To date these include:
|
|
|
In April 2002, we entered into a strategic alliance with a global systems integrator, Sapient Corporation. |
|
|
|
In May 2002, we entered into a second strategic alliance, with Perot Systems Corporation, focused around accelerated penetration of the healthcare industry.
|
|
|
|
In October 2002, we sold our UK subsidiary to the management of that subsidiary and |
18
entered into an agreement under which TenFold Systems UK Limited will continue to
distribute TenFold products and provide local service to UK customers.
During 2002 we have continued to explore
and begun to enter into VAR relationships around Universal Application-based applications to which, in most cases, TenFold owns the intellectual property rights. To date this year we have established the following VAR relationships:
|
|
|
In February 2002, we entered into our first VAR agreement with 3Genesis through which 3Genesis will resell a Universal Application-based customer management,
billing, and financial management application in the communications industry application worldwide. |
|
|
|
In April 2002, we entered into a second VAR agreement with PCX Systems, LLC (PCX Systems), a subsidiary of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, through
which PCX Systems will resell Universal Application in connection with the sale of the Patient Care Expert application in the hospital and healthcare provider market globally. |
|
|
|
In October 2002, we sold an applications product line, TenFold Revenue Manager, to the Redi2 Corporation and entered into an industry-typical VAR relationship
with them that allows them to sell TenFold Revenue Manager to investment managers. |
|
|
|
In November 2002, TenFold entered into a VAR agreement with Vertex, a UK-based utility sector customer management and billing company, granting Vertex
exclusive, global rights to resell the utility industry focused customer management and billing application, Global Billing System (GBS), to their customers and others in the utility industry. Subsequently, Vertex completed its first sale of GBS to
a large utility customer in the UK. |
We continue to make substantial improvements in our
business positioning and operations as part of a comprehensive turnaround effort. These steps, which are detailed further below, include:
|
|
|
We continue to significantly reduce quarterly cash outflows with the goal of providing a cash flow positive basis for continuing operations. We have
significantly reduced our liabilities. In September 2002, we renegotiated our headquarters lease, reducing its term from 11 years to 5 years and reducing the base rent obligations by about $19 million over the term of the lease. In October 2002, we
paid a substantially reduced amount to retire our entire bank debt. In October 2002, we reduced our workforce by 45%. And, with the sale of our UK subsidiary to its management team in October 2002, we eliminated the related ongoing costs.
|
|
|
|
We continue to settle legacy litigation matters. In September 2002, we entered into an Agreement to settle a shareholder lawsuit. We have been in active
settlement discussions around our one remaining former customer litigation, that with the SkyTel Corporation, but have encountered delays due to their encumbrance in the WorldCom bankruptcy proceedings. |
|
|
|
In November 2002, we concluded a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to matters that have been under investigation since May,
2000. TenFold will incur no further costs related to this matter, pay no fine or civil penalty and will not need to restate its financials as a consequence of this settlement. |
As a consequence of these and other steps, our business performance continues to improve as reflected in key financial metrics:
|
|
|
Revenues increased from $5.6 million for Q1 2002 to $6.3 million for Q2 2002 and to $8.1 million for Q3 2002. |
|
|
|
Operating losses decreased from $(3.5) million for Q1 2002 to $(2.2) million for Q2 2002 and to $(14,000) for Q3 2002. |
|
|
|
Net losses decreased from $(3.0) million for Q1 2002 to $(2.4) million for Q2 2002 and to $(77,000) for Q3 2002. |
|
|
|
Our quarterly change in cash improved from $(5.3) million for Q1 2002 to $(1.5) million for Q2 2002 and held steady at $(1.7) million for Q3 2002.
|
19
We, however, continue to face challenges. While we believe we are becoming
positioned to achieve positive cash flow going forward, our cash position is fragile. If we are unsuccessful resolving remaining legacy financial obligations to equipment lessors and other large creditors and in resolving the SkyTel litigation, we
may seek to reorganize the company under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code to restructure those remaining liabilities and emerge with a lower cash outflow burden. For more information see Liquidity and Capital Resources, Legal
Proceedings and Factors that May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Stock.
Industry Challenge
Organizations worldwide face increasing pressure to install mission critical software applications and
replace their legacy enterprise applications as they seek to increase productivity, cut costs, address changing business and competitive demands, and access new technology. Many organizations continue to invest large amounts of money to maintain
legacy applications that remain inadequate. These companies still need new or replacement applications, but they face potential project failure because the process for building and integrating complex applications is costly and risky. To obtain new
or replacement applications, companies choose between buying a packaged software application or building a custom software application.
Companies generally turn to independent software vendors, such as Enterprise Resource Planning vendors or vertical software vendors, when looking for packaged applications. In general, packaged applications promise
predictable quality and relatively quick implementation, but often do not address specific industry problems, such as patient management or securities lending, and lack the functionality and flexibility that many companies need. This lack of
functionality and flexibility can force a company to alter its business processes to the detriment of the companys business mission. In addition, customizing a packaged application can be costly and time-consuming, and makes it difficult to
upgrade the packaged application when subsequent standard releases are available.
Alternatively, companies can
build custom applications, either internally or with third parties. This approach promises the functionality, flexibility and fit they seek, but the applications development process has a historic high failure risk, with most projects exceeding
financial and time budgets and schedules, and with many projects being cancelled prior to implementation due to time delays, budget overruns, and functional or technical deficiencies. Companies often hire software integration or services firms to
build and implement new or replacement applications. These firms generally supply a large number of consultants who may remain on-site for years, and may exceed budgets and schedules without producing significantly better results than internal
development organizations. In addition, these firms typically do not offer ongoing applications enhancements because they build custom solutions for a single customer.
Applications projects fail because the process of building complex applications is complicated, programmer-intensive, and lengthy. When most legacy, enterprise applications
were built, the complexity of the technology environment was much simpler than it is today. In todays technology environment, programming and testing complex applications can be difficult, take a long time, be expensive, and tie up scarce IT
resources. Business dynamics change rapidly and in IT projects, time introduces risk.
Todays companies need
a radically new approach to applications development. TenFolds patented Universal Application is a new paradigm for applications development that lets small teams of primarily non-technical business users design, build, deploy, maintain, and
upgrade applications with extraordinary speed and limited demand on scarce IT resources.
TenFold Technology and Products
In conjunction with customers we have demonstrated that our Universal Application platform makes building
complex applications three to ten times cheaper, easier, and faster than traditional application development methodologies because the Universal Application automates many tasks that applications programmers typically do. TenFold customers have
demonstrated
20
that primarily non-technical business people can use the Universal Application to build better applications than IT consultants or traditional
programmers due to the business peoples detailed understanding of their business requirements. Consequently, we have focused our business away from building applications for customers and toward providing the Universal Application, and our
assistance through time-and-materials consulting and training, to customers who use their own business teams to build applications.
The business value of the Universal Application is more than a rapid development technology. The Universal Application is an applications platform that simplifies complex applications development and integration so that
non-technical business people can use it to build applications. Customers can get new applications into production with limited demand on scarce IT resources. And, once a new application is in production, the Universal Application provides business
people with the agility to modify that application dramatically cheaper, easier, and faster than with traditional technologies.
The Universal Application platform has been in development more than 9 years, contains more than 2.5 million lines of C and C++ code, and is protected by three issued U.S. patents. With the Universal Application, business people or
applications developers with little or no traditional programming skills can build and maintain an application by describing the applications desired data and functionality without needing to program in C, C++, Java, HTML, Structured Query
Language (SQL) or other programming languages and without the need to do other programming-like tasks such as designing screens and writing requirements documents.
The Universal Application is a tightly integrated development and maintenance environment and a powerful, efficient, scalable rendering engine. This integrated development
and maintenance environment includes: business rules definitions; automatic SQL generation; automated user interface generation; Windows and Web-enablement; integrated product testing, report generation, and data analysis. The Universal Application
rendering engine provides significant already-built applications functionality, good applications performance and scalability, portability across relational databases, operating systems and networks, and a code-less means for integrating with legacy
and third-party applications.
We believe that the Universal Application delivers these benefits:
|
|
|
Faster development of complex transaction applications because the Universal Application automates many tasks that programmers would otherwise have to do such
as coding SQL, coding logic functions, managing computer-to-computer communications, and coding user interface screens; |
|
|
|
Longer-lived applications that can survive changes in underlying technologies without requiring rewrites, because the Universal Application insulates
applications from many technical changes such as new operating system and database software releases; |
|
|
|
Reduced maintenance costs because there is little or no code to maintain; |
|
|
|
Improved quality because the Universal Application replaces individually-coded logic with already-existing, thoroughly-tested, and
already-used-by-other-customer algorithms that provide applications behavior such as security, menuing, transaction behavior, rules engines, and powerful Windows and browser interface features; |
|
|
|
Greater consistency, by replacing individually-built screen designs with a systematic, optimal, standard design which eliminates the details of page layout from
the application developers task list; |
|
|
|
Demonstrated scalability as customers add simultaneous end-users and computing capacity; and |
|
|
|
Typically sub-second response-time for most applications functions on properly configured hardware, because the Universal Application is carefully optimized to
provide good performance. |
21
In addition to the above benefits, the Universal Application has many
distinguishing advanced features. The following is a partial listing of these features:
|
|
|
Portability across popular databases such as Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, and Sybase; |
|
|
|
Generation of all SQL statements for accessing and updating data, each optimized for each particular relational database; |
|
|
|
Automatic screen layout to ensure consistency and quality in both Web and desktop environments; |
|
|
|
Built-in support for query and update of time-varying data such as effective-dated employee or insurance policy records; |
|
|
|
Real-time, server-supplied screen refresh of detail and summary information as underlying data changes; |
|
|
|
Simplified rule definition and optimized rule execution for workflow, posting, access control, and other sophisticated rule types;
|
|
|
|
Formal rule abstractions for validation, propagation, population, without requiring application developers to master complex event models;
|
|
|
|
Shared middle-tier caching, deferred query execution, and optimistic concurrency control to minimize database server load; |
|
|
|
Codeless integration with third-party applications via real-time messages, APIs, or files based on a simple interface description including support for many
different messaging layers such as Tibco, TCP/IP, MQSeries, and Pipes; |
|
|
|
Applications-level data synchronization between central servers and intermittently connected laptops; and |
|
|
|
Guided interfaces to help end-users quickly master complex business processes. |
The Universal Application is composed of components for describing, executing, integrating, and configuring applications.
Describing an Application. ApplicationXpress includes an application, named TenFold Librarian, built using the Universal
Application. Applications developers use TenFold Librarian to describe their application. TenFold Librarian provides fill-in-the-blank screens to codelessly describe an application. Non-technical business people or other applications developers
describe the database that the application manages, transactions that support each business end-user activity, and rules that control transaction and other applications behavior. TenFold AutoTest uses patented techniques to simplify and automate
functional, performance, scalability and regression testing. TenFold Reporter and TenFoldAnalyzer are tools that let business people define their own reports and real-time data analysis. These TenFold applications development tools store the
description of applications objects in a relational database called TenFold Dictionary.
Executing an
Application. The Universal Application rendering engine runs the application, provides data and presentation services, and automatically executes rules. There are several components to the Universal Application rendering engine. Universal
Application Server hosts the application, providing security, resource management, load balancing, and failover, for scalability and availability. Universal Application Client manages client workstations and supports standard Internet browsers to
provide data presentation services and user interface features. LogicXpress converts rules and procedural actions into portable, executable meta-language that it transports automatically to the correct computer within the applications network for
execution. Universal Application Kernel provides standard data access services, common routines, operating system independence, standard error handling, and other shared services.
Integrating an Application. Universal Application Integrator connects a Universal Application-based application to other applications, both within a company
and at its customers and suppliers. Whether exchanging files, directly accessing another database, or using real-time messaging, integration developers codelessly describe the path that data follows to interface with
22
typically-inflexible legacy or third party applications. Applications developers can transform and validate data as part of each data flow.
Configuring an Application. The Universal Application supports many leading relational databases,
server operating systems, client operating systems, Web servers and browsers, and communications systems. The Universal Application is highly configurable so that it can run on a single computer or distribute across many computers to provide n-tier
processing. Configuration options let customers optimize performance and scalability by configuring to match underlying hardware and software environment. The Universal Application design simplifies adding support for additional technologies in
order to respond to customer or market needs.
TenFold ComponentWare
TenFold ComponentWare is a family of pre-written applications components that easily plug into the Universal Application to extend its
functionality without programming. For example, PowerBilling provides a robust suite of add-on billing services. PowerAccounting makes it easy for a customer to integrate an application to their general ledger system.
TenFold Services
We offer basic and advanced applications development training; Universal Application maintenance training; assistance in building, implementing, and maintaining applications; and customer and technical support.
Training
We offer training so that customers can successfully build, implement, operate, maintain, and evolve their applications. TenFold University offers professional certification programs to applications developers, end-users,
information technology professionals, and training professionals who need to understand the Universal Application, TenFold ComponentWare, the Universal Application Integrator, and TenFold applications products. Training programs include classroom
instruction, detailed courseware, and on-site training. Under certain circumstances, we also provide Universal Application maintenance training, so that strategic customers and partners can learn about the internal workings of the Universal
Application by working with TenFolds Development department.
Applications Development and Implementation
Services
We offer services to help customers build, implement, operate and maintain their applications.
Applications development services include helping customers identify requirements and describe their application in the Universal Application. Implementation services include converting and cleansing legacy data, integrating with other applications,
running a parallel application, and managing the implementation project.
Customer and Technical Support
We provide our customers who purchase support services with new releases of the Universal Application as new
releases become available and various levels of on-site and telephone support.
Competition
The competitive landscape for new and legacy-replacement enterprise applications provides these options available to organizations today:
|
|
|
Buy a packaged application (with or without modification); and |
|
|
|
Build a new application using internal IT resources or third-party consulting and software |
23
integration firms.
Status quo
TenFolds largest competitor is status quo. Organizations
continually wrestle with the issue of when to retire legacy applications. In recent years, most organizations chose to invest large amounts of money to maintain legacy applications, bearing the quirks and inefficiencies of outdated applications.
Eventually, the benefits and capabilities of a new application outweigh the cost and time disadvantage of building or acquiring the new application, and corporations replace their applications.
Remaining with the status quo results in continuously increasing costs as maintenance on top of maintenance gets harder, acceptance of legacy applications
inadequacies; limitations on lowering costs; limitations to embracing new technologies; difficulty in adding products or expanding markets; and postpones the inevitable replacement of the application.
Buy a Packaged Application (with or without modification)
Many organizations obtain an off-the-shelf application from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors or vertical packaged software vendors. Organizations
license software packages to limit the risks associated with applications development projects. However, packaged applications force organizations to conform their business problems to the packaged solution, sometimes with a poor fit. Organizations
can modify a packaged application for a better fit, but modifications are generally expensive, slow to implement, and costly to maintain.
Buying packaged applications is not a viable solution for replacing many legacy applications for most customers in most industries, as reasonable-fit packaged applications just dont exist.
Build New Applications
When organizations contemplate building their own applications, TenFold competes primarily with applications servers and traditional development tool vendors. Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, BEA, Computer
Associates, and others supply tools to internal IT organizations or to third party consulting firms to build new applications.
Programming languages such as COBOL, C, and C++ perform well and scale well, but often require large project teams to spend multiple years to complete projects. Such projects are generally the source of statistics that report high
applications-development-project failure rates s. Visual Basic, SmallTalk, and other personal computer technologies support rapid applications development and improved productivity for smaller projects, but do not scale to support large numbers of
end-users.
Todays emerging technologies include Java, other component-enabling technologies (COM, DCOM,
ActiveX, .NET, et cetera), and Java-related technologies intending to make Java viable for complex applications (J2EE, EJB, et cetera). Emerging technologies, all of which rely on programmers, have not changed the time and cost of large applications
development at this time. Using such technologies for very large, complex applications development projects is likely to result in continued high failure rates for applications build projects since longer projects and large numbers of programmers on
a project increase risk of failure, according to most industry pundits.
Consulting and software integration
firms, such as Accenture and EDS, who build applications for hire, are not competitors of TenFold, but potential resellers of the Universal Application. We intend to develop partnering agreements with strategic consulting and integration partners,
and believe that the Universal Application gives partners a technological advantage for delivering complex, enterprise applications.

Meeting Customer Expectations
During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, we provided Universal Application technology and supporting services to 18 customers, 13 of whom are currently in production
with applications powered by the Universal Application. All of these customers continue to enhance their applications, with one customer having two separate Universal Application-based applications in production. Three customers a prestigious
academic health system, a global financial services firm, and a subsidiary of a major health insurer have completed their application build projects in recent months, brought their application into production, and are continuing to rollout
the applications. Three of our customers are VARs working closely with TenFold to close new business with existing and new customers. Vertex, our most recent VAR, established in November 2002, successfully closed its first sale of the Universal
Application-based utility industry customer management and billing application to a large utility customer in the UK.
Our customers are leaders in financial services, insurance, healthcare and other vertical markets. Companies using Universal Application-based applications in production today include, among others, Abbey National Bank, Allstate
Insurance, Barclays Global Investors, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Franklin Templeton, iplan networks, JP Morgan Chase, MedCath, and Trinity.
In addition, we have successfully piloted one of our new approaches to the marketplace by using the Universal Application to support rapid prototyping the building
of a tested-and-working, high-functionality prototype quickly and the use of that prototype as a foundation for an extensive build project. We completed the rapid prototyping phase with a new client, Reuter Brooks, and completed a replacement
application to support dispatching and tracking of shipments.
Current Customer Engagements
Allstate. Allstate has been a TenFold customer since September 1999. With TenFolds Universal Application training,
enhancements and support, a division of Allstate successfully built an important application, InterLink, in four months and brought it into production three months later. InterLink allows independent insurance agents to quote and issue automobile
and homeowners insurance policies over the Internet. InterLink is currently in production doing more than 100,000 transactions weekly for multiple lines of business in many states, with new states being added regularly. TenFold provides
Allstates team with Universal Application services and support.
In November 2001, Allstate acquired another
Universal Application license for another application. Over the first three quarters of 2002, TenFold provided substantial time and materials services to Allstate in support of this new license. In July 2002, Allstate entered into an amendment to
its agreement with TenFold that secures for Allstate the right to receive future Universal Application updates. TenFold does not expect future services revenues related to this license as Allstate priorities have changed. Allstate is continuing to
enhance InterLink, using its own business people and TenFolds assistance.
In July, 2002, TenFold notified
Allstate of certain breaches by Allstate of the parties agreement, as amended. The parties are currently working to resolve these matters.
JP Morgan Chase. TenFold completed its fixed-price build project at JP Morgan Chase, delivering the Securities Lending Express (SLX) application to JP Morgan Chase. Under a new
time-and-materials arrangement, TenFold continues to provide services assisting JP Morgan Chase in implementing this application. Notable milestones to date include that JP Morgan Chase successfully completed parallel production and went into quiet
production in August 2002 with Version 1 of the SLX application in one of its European lending business units. As a market leader in the securities lending market, JP Morgan Chase anticipates that the full implementation
25
of SLX will significantly enhance their competitive business position.
JP Morgan Chase recently selected TenFold to build securities lending technology that integrates JP Morgan Chase operations with the Equilend consortium, a consortium
intended to provide efficient standards-based processes for automated transactions between borrowers and lenders.
iplan networks. iplan went into production in Argentina with the Universal Application-powered Enterprise Relationship Manager (ERM) in September 2001. ERM includes sales management, customer support, incident
tracking, and provisioning for the communications industry. We built this application and brought it into production in nine months. Since bringing ERM into production, we have delivered significant performance enhancements and additional
functionality including usage allowance functionality, enhancements to summarize usage, functionality to process erred usage, multi-currency support, and inflation indexing. We continue to provide Universal Application and application support
services to this client.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. In April 2002, we replaced our original fixed-price
contract with a set of agreements under which Cedars-Sinais staff assumed responsibility for completing the build and implementation of Patient Care Expert (PCX). PCX is an enterprise wide clinical information system including
patient management, physician order entry, contract management, and patient accounting. Additionally, Cedars-Sinai will be a reseller of PCX through its recently formed subsidiary PCX Systems, LLC. TenFold continues to provide Universal Application
enhancements, support, and other services to Cedars-Sinai, PCX Systems, and their partner, Perot Systems Corporation. In the second quarter of 2002, the PCX application was completed. A large department of the medical center successfully piloted the
application in August. In October 2002, Cedars-Sinai took PCX into production and continues on a scheduled roll out. TenFold continues to provide support to ensure successful implementation across the enterprise.
Abbey National Bank. Abbey has had its Universal Application-powered WealthManager application in production since January 2001.
Consistent with our strategic model, and similar to the client relationships described above, Abbey is driving the majority of the enhancement activity relative to this product. TenFold has provided Universal Application enhancements and support to
the Abbey development team. In the future, we expect Wealth Manager application support and other services to be provided by TenFold Systems UK Limited. TenFold will continue to provide Universal Application support to Abbey.
Vertex. In November 2002, TenFold entered into a VAR agreement with Vertex, a UK-based utility sector customer
management and billing company, granting Vertex exclusive, global rights to resell the utility industry focused customer management and billing application, Global Billing System (GBS), to their customers and others in the utility industry. This
application includes specific billing functionality tailored for the electric and gas sectors. Vertex intends to enhance GBS with other functionality specific to the utility industry, including water utilities. Subsequent to entering into this VAR,
Vertex completed its first sale of GBS to a large utility customer in the UK. TenFold will continue to provide Universal Application support, training, and other services to Vertex and their customers. Through a subcontractor relationship with
TenFold, TenFolds UK distribution partner, TenFold Systems UK Ltd, will provide applications support and other services to Vertex.
Applications Product Line
We have one applications product, CardioTrac, with multiple, production customers. This is an application asset that we manage as product line
by investing in new functionality, servicing our customers, and encouraging these customers to adopt the Universal Application as a development platform. We launched a joint marketing campaign with the American College of Cardiology during April
2002 to market CardioTrac, a flexible Web-enabled, scalable cardiovascular outcomes application. This effort has produced several new potential CardioTrac clients. Our two current clients, MedCath and Trinity, continue to use this product
successfully to
26
manage their cardiovascular outcomes data. As states require reporting of cardiac outcomes, we anticipate that demand for such an application
may increase.
Sales and Distribution Channels
Building sales and marketing is critical to our emergence as a growth technology company. Beginning in the second half of 2001, we began modest efforts to build momentum
for new sales of our Universal Application technology and related products and services.
We focused our direct
sales channel on selling small, paid prototype projects with new accounts in the insurance, retail software, and financial services sectors. In March 2002, Reuter Brooks, a UK-based courier company, entered into a paid prototyping project. In June
2002, Reuter Brooks contracted with TenFold to build a front-to-back office system that provides integrated Web booking, customer queries over the Web, customer relationship management for the sales force and support services, management queries,
and links to the main accounting system. TenFold completed this project in September 2002.
During June 2002,
Ingenix Inc., a subsidiary of a national health insurer, entered into a contract to internally develop a Universal Application-based application called Knowledgebase Expert. Knowledgebase Expert is a collection of data relationships and attributes
that characterize coding relationships on medical bills (e.g., procedure codes, diagnosis codes, and modified codes) for healthcare billings. Ingenix completed this project in September 2002 and has Knowledgebase Expert in production.
During 2001, we began discussions to establish relationships with VARs, system integrators, software distributors, application
service providers and others. We believe that such relationships will accelerate and broaden market distribution of Universal Application for us at a significantly lower cost and greater speed than we could achieve on our own. In April 2002, we
entered into a strategic alliance with a global systems integrator, Sapient Corporation, to resell the Universal Application globally. In May 2002, we entered into a second strategic alliance with Perot Systems Corporation focused around accelerated
penetration of the healthcare industry. In October2002, we sold our UK subsidiary to the management of that subsidiary and entered into an agreement under which TenFold Systems UK Limited will continue to distribute TenFold products and provide
local service to UK customers.
We have completed applications products in production in the communications,
energy, financial services, healthcare and insurance industries. We are in discussions to establish VAR and other distribution agreements with applications companies that may take ownership of specific vertical market applications product
intellectual property, and will provide direct support, maintenance, and marketing of specific vertical market applications products.
In February 2002, we entered our first VAR agreement with 3Genesis to resell a Universal Application-based communications industry application worldwide. In April 2002, we entered a VAR agreement with PCX Systems, LLC, a
subsidiary of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, to resell the Universal Application in connection with their selling the Patient Care Expert application in the hospital and healthcare provider market globally. In October 2002, we sold an applications
product line, TenFold Revenue Manager, to the Redi2 Corporation and entered into an industry-typical VAR contractual relationship with them that allows them to sell TenFold Revenue Manager to investment managers. Redi2 plans to continue to enhance
the functionality of this Universal Application-powered product, provide Revenue Manager application support services to clients including Barclays Global Investors, Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, and Loomis Sayles, and seek direct sales and
additional distribution channels for this product. In November 2002, TenFold entered into a VAR agreement with Vertex, a UK-based utility sector customer management and billing company, granting Vertex exclusive, global rights to resell the utility
industry focused customer management and billing application, Global Billing System (GBS), to their customers and others in the utility industry. This application includes specific billing functionality tailored for the electric and gas sectors.
Vertex intends to enhance GBS with other functionality specific to the utility industry, including water utilities. Subsequent to entering into
27
this VAR, Vertex completed its first sale of GBS to a large utility customer in the UK. TenFold will continue to provide Universal Application
support, training, and other services to Vertex and their customers. Through a subcontractor relationship with TenFold, TenFolds UK distribution partner, TenFold Systems UK Ltd, will provide applications support and other services to Vertex.
During the second half of 2001, we began marketing initiatives around the Universal Application, including the
rebuilding of our Web site. We built the Web site (www.10Fold.com) using our Universal Application technology with the objective of providing real-time demonstration of the power of the Universal Application and as an easy access point for
information on TenFolds technology, customers and business. We continue to update our Web site to provide visitors with a Universal Application experience, including application overviews, real-time product demonstrations, and briefings by our
Chief Technology Officer. In addition, during the first quarter of 2002, we launched other focused marketing efforts, including print advertisements in the Wall Street Journal and targeted mailings. During Q3 of 2002, we added a Member
sign-on capability to our web site and provided a new Universal Application-based application, DocuManage, to our customers and partners. DocuManage provides real-time access and searching of TenFold product documentation.

Revenues
Total revenues decreased $2.7 million, or 25 percent, to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $10.8
million for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, total revenues decreased $25.3 million, or 56 percent, to $19.9 million as compared to $45.3 million for the same period in 2001. The decreases in revenues are
primarily due to a lower volume of services during the 2002 resulting from the completion of fixed-price build projects, completion of time-and-material services and the cancellation of various fixed-price projects.
29
License revenues decreased $715,000, or 96 percent, to $33,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $748,000 for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, license revenues decreased $7.7 million, or 98 percent, to $183,000 as compared to $7.8 million for the same period
in 2001. The decreases in license revenues are primarily due to the completion or cancellation of fixed-price build projects under which the licenses were recognized as costs were incurred on the build projects, and due to license fees in
subscription contracts being recognized as subscription revenue.
Subscription revenues were $4.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, subscription revenues were $10.4 million as compared to $0 for the same period in 2001. Subscription revenues
represent revenue from contracts that include a subscription to new product releases on a when and if available basis. We did not have a subscription contract prior to the fourth quarter of 2001.
Service and other revenues decreased $6.3 million, or 63 percent, to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as
compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, service and other revenues decreased $28.1 million, or 75 percent, to $9.3 million as compared to $37.4 million for the same period in 2001. Service
and other revenues decreased due to lower overall services during the first three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001, and due to time-and-material revenue from our largest customer being recognized as
subscription revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of compensation and other
related costs of personnel to provide applications development and implementation, support, and training services. Cost of revenues decreased $543,000, or 17 percent, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $3.2
million for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cost of revenues decreased $13.4 million, or 57 percent, to $10.2 million as compared to $23.6 million for the same period in 2001. The decreases were primarily due
to a smaller number of employees working on customer projects, and support and training activities.
Sales
and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation, travel, and other related expenses for sales and marketing personnel, as well as advertising and other marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased $59,000, or 9 percent, to $624,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $683,000 for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, sales and marketing expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 65
percent, to $1.8 million as compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2001. The decreases in sales and marketing expenses were primarily due to having fewer sales and marketing employees in 2002.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and other related
costs of personnel dedicated to research and development activities. Research and development expenses decreased $637,000, or 24 percent, to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $2.7 million for the same period
in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, research and development expenses decreased $5.4 million, or 51 percent, to $5.3 million as compared to $10.7 million for the same period in 2001. Research and development expenses decreased due
primarily to having fewer research and development employees in 2002.
General and
Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of allowances for doubtful accounts, the costs of executive management, finance and administrative staff, business insurance, and professional fees. General and
administrative expenses decreased $319,000, or 16 percent, to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30,
30
2002, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.9 million, or 30 percent, to $6.6 million as compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2001. General and administrative expenses
decreased due primarily to having a smaller scale of operations and fewer general and administrative employees in 2002.
Amortization of Goodwill and Acquired Intangibles. We recorded no amortization expense of goodwill and acquired intangibles for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, we recorded $0 and $962,000, respectively, of amortization expense of goodwill and acquired intangibles associated with our prior purchase of LongView. We completed the sale of LongView on March 15, 2001. We no
longer have any goodwill or acquired intangibles.
Special Charges. Special charges for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 include restructuring charges of $1.1 million. Special charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 include restructuring charges of $1.7 million and a $24,000 asset impairment charge. Special
charges for the three months ended September 30, 2001 include $776,000 in restructuring charge adjustments and a $135,000 asset impairment charge. Special charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 include a $4.7 million restructuring
charge and a $3.8 million asset impairment charge.
Restructuring reserves are included in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities at September 30, 2002. Detail of the restructuring charges as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are summarized below (in thousands):

Asset Impairment Charge. During the three months
ended September 30, 2002, we incurred no asset impairment charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we identified $24,000 of fixed assets that had no future value to us and are no longer in active use, and accordingly recorded an
asset impairment charge of $24,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, we restructured operations to reduce operating expenses, including closing several facilities, and recorded
related asset impairment charges of $135,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, for leasehold improvements, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, and other assets that we determined had no future value to us and were no longer in active use.
2002 Restructuring Charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, we
incurred restructuring charges of $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, including $1.1 million, related to termination of the unoccupied portions of our South Jordan Utah headquarters lease, and $562,000, related to adjustments made to prior
restructuring estimates. The termination of the unoccupied portions of the South Jordan lease reduced the square footage leased from 105,068 to 22,310 square feet, reduced the term from 11 years to 5 years, and reduced the rental rate per square
foot. This reduced our total base rent obligations (before operating expenses) under this lease by approximately $19 million over the term of the lease. As part of this transaction, we released to the landlord $1.5 million previously held as
restricted cash to support these leases. The restructuring charge of $1.1 million is comprised of a charge of $1.5 million for release of the restricted cash, less the reversal of a prior rent accrual of $400,000 no longer needed under the terms of
the restructured lease. The adjustments to prior restructuring estimates primarily resulted from higher facilities lease termination payments, and lower revised estimates of future facilities sublease income payments, than previously estimated.
2001 Restructuring Charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, we
incurred restructuring charges of $776,000 and $4.7 million, respectively, as part of our efforts to
31
reduce operating expenses.
Total Other Income (Expense),
net
Net total other income (expense) was $(58,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared
to $(1.0) million for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net total other income (expense) was $(295,000) as compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2001. Net total other income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 included a gain of approximately $12.4 million that we recognized on the sale of The LongView Group, Inc. to Linedata Services on March 15, 2001. Interest income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
compared to the same periods in 2001 due to lower cash and cash equivalent balances. Interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001 due to lower notes payable and obligations
under capital lease balances. Other income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001, as we are recognizing less office sublease income in 2002 due to our having included the sublease
income in our prior restructuring accruals.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to a provision of $209,000 for the
same period in 2001. The benefit for income taxes was $496,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to a provision of $3.0 million for the same period in 2001. The benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 relates
primarily to recently enacted tax legislation that enabled us to reverse accrued Federal alternative minimum taxes from 2001. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 is primarily for income taxes on the gain from our sale of The
LongView Group, Inc. and foreign taxes.
At September 30, 2002, management has recognized a valuation allowance
for the net deferred tax assets related to temporary differences, foreign tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance was recorded in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that a valuation allowance be established when there is significant uncertainty as to the realizability of the deferred tax assets.
Critical Accounting Policies
The fundamental objective of financial reporting is to provide useful information that allows a reader to comprehend our business activities. To aid in that understanding, management has identified the critical accounting
policies below. These policies have the potential to have a more significant impact on our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and
estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in nature.
Revenue Recognition and Project Profitability
We believe risks relating to revenue
recognition primarily include the judgment required to determine project profit or loss projections on time-and-material contracts. We recognize time-and-materials revenue at the lowest point in the range of estimated profit margin, which represents
our best estimate of the profit to be achieved. Variances may occur if we are unable to collect time-and-material billings or if we grant concessions to time-and-material customers in order to sell additional business or collect cash under the
contract. These variances between managements estimate of the lowest point in the range of estimated profit margin and actual results may result in a significant adjustment to our results of operations and financial position.
Previously, risks relating to revenue recognition also included the judgment required to
32
determine fixed-price project completion percentages, fixed-price project profit or loss projections, and forecasting of fixed-price project end-dates. However, during the three months ended
September 30, 2002 we converted our remaining on-going fixed-price contract to a time-and-materials arrangement. As a result, we have no further on-going fixed-price contracts at September 30, 2002.
Litigation Reserves
We review asserted litigation claims each quarter to determine the likelihood that the claim will result in a loss. Significant management judgment is required to conclude on the likely outcome of outstanding litigation. If
a loss is probable on a litigation claim, management estimates the loss and we accrue the estimated loss. If a loss is considered probable but cannot be reasonably estimated, we disclose the contingency in the notes to our financial statements.
Losses may result on litigation claims that are not considered probable or are not estimable at the current time, potentially having a significant impact on future financial results.
Restructuring Charges
We
recognize restructuring charges consistent with EITF 94-3. We reduce charges for abandoned facilities with sublease income. Management analyzes current market conditions including current lease rates in the respective geographic regions, vacancy
rates, and costs associated with subleasing when evaluating the reasonableness of future sublease income. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in calculating future sublease income. Variances between our expected and
actual sublease income may result in significant restructuring charge adjustments in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2002, we have continued to seek to improve our cash flow through a variety of means, including
carefully managing our accounts receivable and generating additional cash inflows wherever possible from our existing customer base, and continuing to reduce our operating cash outflows wherever possible. We have reduced quarterly operating cash
outflows by over 65% from the first quarter of 2001 to the third quarter of 2002. Our quarterly change in cash improved from $(5.3) million for Q1 2002 to $(1.5) million for Q2 2002 and held steady at $(1.7) million for Q3 2002.
Net cash used in operating activities was $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $26.7
million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities results primarily from the significant restructuring actions we have taken to reduce our operating costs, offset in part by decreases in cash receipts from
customers.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 as compared to $22.0 million for the same period in 2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we sold two buildings and related land in San Rafael, California for proceeds of $2.4 million (before repayment of related notes
payable). The decreases to restricted cash of $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, were primarily from our releasing restricted cash to landlords in connection with termination of excess office space in San Francisco,
California; Chicago, Illinois; and Salt Lake City, Utah. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we sold The LongView Group, Inc. to Linedata Services for net proceeds of $28.3 million. The additions to restricted cash of $6.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, were primarily for deposits to secure letters of credit in the amount of $3.5 million, and $2.9 million held in escrow as required by our agreement with Linedata Services.
Net cash used in financing activities was $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $3.4 million for the
same period in 2001. Net cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily for repayment of notes payable related to our sale of two buildings and related land in San Rafael, California; and
33
principal payments on other notes and capital leases. Similarly, net cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 resulted primarily from principal payments on notes and capital leases.
While our financial statements have
been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, the independent auditors report on our December 31, 2001 financial statements, prepared by KPMG LLP, included an explanatory paragraph relating to their substantial
doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
On March 1, 2002, we renewed our existing errors and
omissions insurance policy. However, this policy does not cover our current customer dispute and we can give no assurance that it will cover future customer claims. See Legal Proceedings for more information.
We have made significant progress reducing operating cash outflows during 2001 and 2002. We reduced quarterly operating cash outflows by
over 65% from the first quarter of 2001 to the third quarter of 2002. We are seeking to reduce our on-going cash outflows to below our expected on-going cash inflows (from primarily two large customers), and to eliminate or significantly reduce our
existing and contingent liabilities. We believe that by achieving neutral or positive on-going cash flow from operations and significantly reduced liabilities, we can attract new investment into TenFold. We believe that attracting new investment
into TenFold will in turn allow us to generate new sales and allow TenFold to grow again.
Working toward those
goals, we have recently accomplished the following:
|
|
|
During September 2002, we negotiated a termination of the unoccupied portions of our South Jordan, Utah headquarters lease reducing the square footage leased
from 105,068 to 22,310 square feet, reducing the term from 11 years to 5 years, and reducing the rental rate per square foot. This reduced our total base rent obligations (before operating expenses) under this lease by approximately $19 million over
the term of the lease. As part of this transaction, we released to the landlord $1.5 million previously held as restricted cash to support these leases. |
|
|
|
During October 2002, we reduced our workforce by 45% and reduced senior executive compensation, as part of our continuing effort to reduce operating costs and
improve cash flow. This is expected to reduce staff related costs by approximately $2 million quarterly. |
|
|
|
During October 2002, we executed an agreement with our primary lender under which we paid a significantly reduced amount to retire our entire bank debt and
eliminated a related lien on our intellectual property. |
|
|
|
During October 2002, we sold our entire equity interest in our wholly owned subsidiary, TenFold Systems UK Limited, to the management of that subsidiary. We
have previously distributed and supported our products in the United Kingdom through TenFold Systems UK Limited. Under the terms of this transaction, TenFold Systems UK Limited will continue to distribute TenFold products in the United Kingdom and
provide local support to its customers. We will provide support for the Universal Application to TenFold Systems UK Limited and will share with TenFold Systems UK Limited revenues from existing and future TenFold Systems UK Limited customers. We
will no longer be responsible for TenFold Systems UK Limited operating expenses after October 2002. |
To further accomplish our goals, we have to eliminate or substantially reduce other existing and contingent liabilities. We are overdue in paying various creditors, including significant amounts owed to equipment lessors, and
landlords of our unoccupied office leases. We are in active discussions to reduce or eliminate many of these liabilities. If we are unable to satisfactorily negotiate the elimination or reduction of these liabilities, it may require us to seek to
reorganize the company under Chapter #11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, to restructure most or all of these remaining liabilities and then emerge with a much lower on-going cash outflow burden.
34
Although we believe we are making good progress towards our goals, significant
challenges and risks remain, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful. If we are unsuccessful in further eliminating or significantly reducing our liabilities; or our major customers terminate, reduce or delay their payments to us;
or we are unsuccessful in attracting new investment into TenFold; we would have insufficient cash flow to continue operations.
See Factors that May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Stock for more information about risks facing TenFold.

Real Estate Lease Obligations
The real estate operating leases above include $4.2 million of restructured real estate lease obligations that have not been reduced by $1.3 million of sublease income
due from sublease tenants. In the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2002, these obligations are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net of the related sublease income.
In addition to the Contractual Obligations shown in the table above, we have the following other commitments:
Standby Letters of Credit
We have a stand-by letter of credit for $66,000, used to secure a lease on office space in Dallas, Texas, which will terminate by December 31, 2003. This letter of credit has not been drawn upon at September 30, 2002.
Guarantees
As of September 30, 2002, we had two remaining contracts subject to guarantees. We have received cash payments under one contract totaling $9.4 million through September 30, 2002 that are subject to potential refund under the related
guarantee. During the three months ended September 30, 2002 we converted the remaining work under the other contract to a time-and-materials arrangement, and reduced the guarantee from over $5 million to $1.5 million. We also revised the terms of
this contracts guarantee such that the $1.5 million guarantee will expire upon the earlier to occur of successful completion of certain acceptance tests, the customer implementing the application in production, or December 31, 2003. We have
currently maintained a related deferred revenue balance of $1.5 million at September 30, 2002, which is included in our consolidated deferred revenue balance at September 30, 2002 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This
customer has committed to order
35
and we have committed to provide a certain minimum amount of time-and-materials resources through July 31, 2003.
We believe that the application and required deliveries under the contracts will comply with the contractual terms of our customer
agreements; however, these guarantees represent a risk to us.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from
the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. We are required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. We are currently evaluating the
impact this statement will have on our results of operations and financial position.
In November 2001, the FASB
issued an announcement, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out of Pocket Expense Incurred. The announcement requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses as revenues in the
statement of operations. Historically, we netted reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses against the related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The announcement is to be applied in financial
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and comparative financial statements for the prior year are to be reclassified to comply with the guidance in the announcement. We adopted this announcement on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this
announcement resulted in increased revenues and expenses by the same amount in each period of $310,000 and $448,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $871,000 and $2.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 Rescission of FASB
Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 eliminates Statement 4 (and Statement 64, as it amends Statement 4), which requires gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be
aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 145 amends FASB Statement No. 13 to
require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions are accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, SFAS No. 145 makes technical corrections to some existing
pronouncements. We are required to adopt the provisions related to the rescission of Statements 4 and 64 on January 1, 2003, and for all transactions entered into beginning May 15, 2002 adopt the provision related to the amendment of Statement 13.
We are currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on our results of operations and financial position. We have not had transactions since May 15, 2002 affected by these provisions.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 requires recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when the entity commits to an exit plan under EITF No. 94-3. We are required
to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our future business, results of operations, financial position, or
liquidity.
36
Factors that May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Stock
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following discussion
highlights some of these risks.
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or secure
additional sources of financing, we will be unable to continue operations as a going concern
While our
financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, the independent auditors report on our December 31, 2001 financial statements, prepared by KPMG LLP, included an explanatory paragraph
relating to their substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our business model relies upon generating new sales to existing and new customers and receiving payments from existing customers. If we do not generate sufficient
new sales and receive payments from existing customers, we will be required to pursue one or a combination of the following remedies: seek additional sources of financing, further reduce operating expenses, sell part or all of our assets, or
terminate operations. We were unable to raise additional capital during the year ended December 31, 2001, or the nine months ended September 30, 2002. We will continue to seek additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts
will prove successful.
If we file for bankruptcy protection, either voluntarily or involuntarily, it is
unlikely that our existing stockholders would receive any value for their stock
We are overdue in paying
various creditors, including significant amounts owed to equipment lessors, and landlords of our unoccupied office leases. We are in active discussions to reduce or eliminate many of these liabilities. If we are unable to satisfactorily negotiate
the elimination or reduction of these liabilities, it may require us to seek to reorganize the company under bankruptcy protection, with the goal of restructuring most or all of these remaining liabilities and then emerging with a much lower
on-going cash outflow burden. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining sufficient cash flow, or in certain circumstances as a result of actions that could be taken by a group of unsecured creditors, we might be forced to into the bankruptcy process. If
we become a debtor in bankruptcy for these or any other reasons, it is unlikely that our existing stockholders would receive any value for their stock.
If we are unable to continue to operate as an independent company and sell all or substantially all our assets, it is unlikely that our existing stockholders would receive any value for their stock
If we are unable to maintain sufficient cash flow to continue to operate as an independent company, we may be
required to consider selling all or substantially all of our assets. If we sell our assets in such circumstances, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sale would be sufficient to fully satisfy our obligations to our creditors, and therefore it
is unlikely that our existing stockholders would receive any value for their stock.
Our future prospects are
difficult to evaluate
In light of our operating results for recent periods and the national economic downturn
in the technology sector, it is difficult to evaluate our future prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete any current or new projects. In the past we received customer complaints concerning some of our
projects. Although we have substantially changed the business model under which we sold and delivered business which generated customer complaints, we cannot be certain that we will not receive more customer complaints in the future. Additionally,
our failure to successfully complete any current or new projects may have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. We cannot be certain that our business strategy will succeed.
37
We continue to experience difficulty in securing future customer revenue
We believe that some prospective customers are delaying and canceling purchase decisions as a result of the
litigation and customer disputes against us, the decline in our stock price, our financial condition including our operating losses for the last several quarters, our lack of new capital, and the national economic downturn in the technology sector.
There is no assurance that we will be able to convince prospective customers to purchase products or services from us or that any customer revenue that is achieved can be sustained. If we are unable to obtain future customer revenue, our operations,
financial condition, liquidity, and prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and we will be required to pursue one or a combination of the following remedies: seek additional sources of financing, further reduce operating expenses, sell
part or all of our assets, or terminate operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing sources will be available to us when needed or that we will be able to execute the other potential remedies sufficiently to continue operations.
Our errors and omissions coverage may not cover contractual disputes
While we maintain errors and omissions insurance coverage for claims related to customer contract disputes within the coverage scope and
term, given the nature and complexity of the factors affecting the estimated liabilities, actual liabilities may exceed or be outside the scope of our current errors and omissions coverage. We can give no assurance that our insurance carrier will
extend coverage to any of the current claims. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will not be subject to material additional liabilities and significant additional litigation relating to errors and omissions for existing claims and future
claims.
Our new errors and omissions insurance policy, which we renewed on March 1, 2002, is in the form of an
industry standard software errors and omissions policy. As such, it only covers software errors and omissions that occur after the delivery of software and excludes contractual disputes such as cost and time related guarantees. We have previously
had contractual disputes related to our guarantees. While we have substantially changed our business model and no longer offer the TenFold Guarantee, no assurance can be given that we will not be subject to these types of claims in the future. In
the event that liabilities from claims are not covered by or exceed our errors and omissions coverage, our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.
We are substantially dependent on a small number of large customers, including our primary customer, Allstate, and the loss of one or
more of these customers may cause revenues and cash flow to decline
We have derived, and over the near term
we expect to continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues and cash flow from a limited number of large customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, Allstate accounted for 64 percent of our total revenues, and another
customer accounted for 18 percent. If Allstate significantly reduces the amount of business it conducts with us, our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected. The loss of any of our
large customers, without their replacement by new large customers, could have an adverse effect on our revenues and cash flow. We lost several customers during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. In the future, revenues from a single
customer or a few large customers may constitute a significant portion of our total revenues and cash inflows in a particular quarter. The volume of work performed for specific customers is likely to vary from year to year, and a major customer in
one year may not purchase licenses or services from us in a subsequent year. In addition, if a customer is involved in a corporate reorganization or business combination, that fact may delay a decision to hire us or cause the customer to choose not
to purchase licenses or services in a given year. Replacing the loss of a large customer is unpredictable, as we have not signed a significant contract with a new customer in over a year. Fifty-six percent of our 2001 revenues were derived from
three customers; the largest of the three customers in 2001 is not expected to produce significant revenue or cash flow during 2002. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of
38
Financial Condition and Results of Operations generally for more information concerning our customers and revenues.
If our software contains defects or other limitations, we could face product liability exposure
Because of our limited operating history and our small number of customers, we have completed a limited number of projects that are now in
production. As a result, there may be undiscovered material defects in our products or technology. Furthermore, complex software products often contain errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are
released. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential customers, our current and future products may contain serious defects. Serious defects or errors could result in lost revenues or a delay in market acceptance, which would
damage our reputation and business.
Because our customers may use our products for mission-critical applications,
errors, defects, or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to customers. Our customers could seek damages for these losses. Any successful claims for these losses, to the extent not covered by insurance, could result
in us being obligated to pay substantial damages, which would cause operating results to suffer. Although our license agreements typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to product liability claims, existing or future laws or
unfavorable judicial decisions could negate these limitations of liability provisions. A product liability claim brought against us, even if not successful, would likely be time consuming and costly.
We are involved in litigation and disputes and may in the future be involved in further litigation or disputes that may be costly and
time-consuming, and if we suffer adverse judgments, our operating results could suffer
We are currently
involved in a dispute with a former customer, and a shareholder class action lawsuit. We may in the future face other litigation or disputes with customers, employees, business partners, stockholders, or other third parties. Such litigation or
disputes could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources that would harm our business. An unfavorable outcome of these matters may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
See Legal Proceedings for more information.
Our settlements with Perot Systems and Cedars-Sinai
require that if we do not meet certain obligations their claims may be re-instated or re-asserted, and if this were to happen and we suffer adverse judgments, our operating results could suffer
Our settlements with Perot Systems and Cedars-Sinai require that we perform and meet certain obligations. If we are unable to or do not
perform or meet these obligations, Perot Systems and Cedars-Sinai may re-instate or re-assert their respective claims against us. If either Perot Systems or Cedars-Sinai were to re-instate or re-assert their respective claims, an unfavorable outcome
of the matter may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Our historical operating results have varied significantly and our future operating results could vary
Historically, our operating results have varied significantly. For example, during some years, we have had quarterly profits followed by losses in subsequent quarters. Our future operating results may continue to vary significantly.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will not continue to suffer losses in the future.
39
If we fail to adequately anticipate employee and resource utilization rates,
our operating results could suffer
A high percentage of our operating expenses, particularly personnel and
rent, are relatively fixed in advance of any particular quarter. As a result, unanticipated variations in the number, or progress toward completion, of our projects or in employee utilization rates did and may continue to cause significant
variations in operating results in any particular quarter and could result in quarterly losses. An unanticipated termination of a major project, the delay of a project, or the completion during a quarter of several major projects has in the past and
may continue to result in under-utilized employees and could, therefore, cause us to suffer quarterly losses or adverse results of operations.
Our sales cycle is lengthy and subject to delays and these delays could cause our operating results to suffer
We believe that a customers decision to purchase our software involves a significant commitment of resources and is influenced by customer budget cycles. To
successfully sell our products, we generally must educate our potential customers regarding the use and benefit of our products, which can require significant time and resources. Consequently, the period between initial contact and the purchase of
our products is often long and subject to delays associated with the lengthy budgeting, approval, and competitive evaluation processes that typically accompany significant capital expenditures. Our sales cycles are lengthy and variable, typically
ranging between three to twelve months from initial contact with a potential customer to the signing of a contract. In addition, the national economic downturn and the events of September 11, 2001 have caused current and potential customers to delay
or change their purchasing decisions. Sales delays could cause our operating results to vary widely. We have recently experienced sales delays due to longer than expected sales cycles, which we believe contributed to lower than expected revenues.
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations generally for more information concerning our customers and revenues. There can be no assurance that we will not experience sales delays in
the future. In addition, we face a challenging sales environment and there can be no assurance that we will have sales in the future.
We have historically derived a significant portion of our revenues from customers in a small number of vertical industries
We have developed software applications for companies in a small number of vertical industries. Our reliance on customers from particular industries subjects our business to the economic conditions
impacting those industries, including those industries demand for information technology resources. If we continue to rely on a small number of vertical industries as a major source of revenues, and those industries suffer adverse economic
conditions, there will likely be a significant reduction in the demand for our products, causing revenues to suffer. For example, the events of September 11, 2001 have adversely affected some of our customers in the insurance and financial services
industries. Although we intend to seek to diversify our customer base, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the near term or at all.
Our growth and success depends on our ability to license the Universal Application; however, we have limited experience licensing the Universal Application to date
As we change our business strategy to licensing the Universal Application, the success of our business is dependent, in part, upon our
ability to license the Universal Application. If our strategy for marketing the Universal Application is unsuccessful, or if we are unable to license the Universal Application successfully or within the time frames anticipated, our revenues, and
operating results will suffer.

A loss of Nancy M. Harvey, Jeffrey L. Walker, or any other key employee could
impair our business
Our industry is competitive and we are substantially dependent upon the continued service
of our existing executive personnel, especially Nancy M. Harvey, President and Chief Executive Officer. Furthermore, our products and technologies are complex and we are substantially dependent upon the continued service of our senior technical
staff, including Jeffrey L. Walker, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Executive Vice President, and Chief Technology Officer. If a key employee resigns to join a competitor or to form a competing company, the loss of the employee and any resulting
loss of existing or potential customers to the competing company would harm our business. We do not carry key man life insurance on any of our key employees. We have entered into an employment agreement with our President and Chief Executive
Officer, Nancy M. Harvey. However, such agreements do not ensure their continued service to TenFold. In the event of the loss of key personnel, there can be no assurance that we would be able to prevent their unauthorized disclosure or use of our
technical knowledge, practices, or procedures.
Our failure to attract and retain highly skilled employees,
particularly project managers and other senior technical personnel, could impair our ability to complete projects and expand our business
Our business is labor intensive. Our success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract, retain, train, and motivate highly skilled employees, particularly project managers and other senior
technical personnel. Any failure on our part to do so would impair our ability to adequately manage and complete existing projects, bid for and obtain new projects, and expand business. There exists significant competition for employees with the
skills required to perform the services we offer. Qualified project managers and senior technical staff are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future. The collapsing of our vertical business group
structure along with our restructuring and related headcount reductions, may make it more difficult for us to retain and compete for such employees. In addition, many of the stock options that we granted to employees are priced in excess of the
current market price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in retaining, training, and motivating our employees or in attracting new, highly skilled employees. If we are unsuccessful in this effort or if our
employees are unable to achieve expected performance levels, our business will be harmed.
If we cannot protect
or enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position would be impaired and we may become involved in costly and time-consuming litigation
Our success is dependent, in part, upon our proprietary Universal Application technology and other intellectual property rights. If we are unable to protect and enforce these intellectual property
rights, our competitors will have the ability to introduce competing products that are similar to ours, and our revenues, market share, and operating results will suffer. To date, we have relied primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trade
secret, and trademark laws, and nondisclosure and other contractual restrictions on copying and distribution to protect our proprietary technology. We have been issued three patents in the U.S. and intend to continue to seek patents on our
technology when appropriate. There can be no assurance that the steps we have taken in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate
steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. The laws of some countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Furthermore, litigation may be necessary to enforce our
intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. This litigation could result in substantial costs and
diversion of resources that would harm our business.
To date, we have not been notified that our products
infringe the proprietary rights of third
41
parties, but there can be no assurance that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products. We
expect software developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any of these claims,
with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert managements attention and resources, cause product shipment delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or
licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. A successful claim against us of product infringement and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology on favorable terms would
harm our business.
If we fail to successfully compete, our revenues and market share will be adversely
affected
The market for our products and services is highly competitive, and if we are not successful in
competing in this market, our revenues and market share will suffer. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, generate greater revenues, and have greater name recognition than we do. In
addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into our markets and we have faced, and expect to continue to face, additional competition from new entrants into our markets.
International political and economic uncertainty could have an adverse impact on our business and on our operating results
Revenues from customers located in the United Kingdom and Argentina, were 28% and 20% of total revenues during 2001 and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The international political and economic uncertainty caused by the events of September 11, 2001 and the ongoing war on terrorism may adversely impact our ability to continue existing relationships with
our foreign customers and to develop new business abroad.
Furthermore, Argentinas default on its debt and
the political and economic upheaval resulting from that countrys four-year recession may adversely impact our ability to continue our relationship with, or even collect amounts due from, our customer in Argentina.
No corporate actions requiring stockholder approval can take place without the approval of our controlling stockholders
The executive officers, directors, and entities affiliated with them, in the aggregate, beneficially own
approximately 62 percent of our outstanding common stock. Jeffrey L. Walker, Chairman, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, and the Walker Childrens Trust, in the aggregate, currently beneficially own approximately 47 percent
of our outstanding common stock. Mr. Walker, acting with others, would be able to decide or significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business
combination transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a merger or other business combination transaction, even if the transaction would be beneficial to our other stockholders.
The anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and/or under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that
stockholders may consider favorable
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, stock incentive
plans and Delaware law may discourage, delay, or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate
Risk. As of September 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.4 million and $159,000 of restricted cash. All of the cash equivalents consist of highly-liquid investments with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of less than
ninety days. These investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical increase or decrease in market interest rates by 10 percent from the September 30, 2002 rates would cause
the fair value of these investments to change by an insignificant amount. Risk is mitigated through limits regarding investment concentration in particular securities and institutions, and investments in varying maturities. We do not invest in any
financial derivatives or any other complex financial instruments. An increase or decrease in interest rates would not significantly increase or decrease our interest expense on debt obligations, as the majority of our debt obligations have fixed
interest rates. TenFold does not own any equity investments. Therefore, we do not currently have any direct equity price risk.
Currency Risk. A portion of our operations consists of applications development and sales activities in the United Kingdom. These transactions are primarily denominated in British pounds. As a result, our financial results
could be affected by factors such as a change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the British pound, or by weak economic conditions in the United Kingdom. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against the British pound, the
value of revenues in the United Kingdom decreases. When the U.S. dollar weakens against the British pound, the value of revenues in the United Kingdom increases. The monetary assets and liabilities in our foreign subsidiary which are impacted by
foreign currency fluctuations are cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and certain accrued liabilities. A hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the British pound from the September 30,
2002 rate would cause the fair value of such monetary assets and liabilities in the United Kingdom to change by approximately $49,000. We are not currently engaged in any foreign currency hedging activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report,
the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-14(c). Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in the Companys periodic SEC filings within the required time period. There have been no
significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequently to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of legal proceedings.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 26, 2002, we
entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital), pursuant to which Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase in cash, on each trading day during the term of the agreement, $12,500 of our
common stock up to an aggregate, under certain conditions, of $10 million. We have issued 632,911 shares to Fusion Capital as part of its commitment fee, and up to 316,456 additional shares are issuable to Fusion Capital in the future as part of its
commitment fee. Under the common stock purchase agreement, the purchase price per share is equal to the lesser of: the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date; or the average of the three lowest closing sale prices of our common
stock during the ten consecutive trading days prior to the date of a purchase by Fusion Capital. As a condition to Fusion Capitals obligation to make purchases under the Purchase Agreement, the Common Stock to be offered and sold to Fusion
Capital must be registered in an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Once the registration statement is effective, we may make draws under the equity line, and can elect to draw up to $250,000 per month so
long as our stock price exceeds $0.25 (below which we may not make draws). Our stock has recently traded below $0.25 per share and we are considering whether to file the registration statement. The Purchase Agreement required the registration
statement to be filed by March 29, 2002. Consequently, Fusion Capital may elect to cancel the Purchase Agreement.
Based upon representations and warranties made by Fusion Capital in the common stock purchase agreement, including representations and warranties with respect to its investment intent and financial sophistication, the shares of
common stock issued and to be issued to Fusion Capital have been issued and are expected to be issued, as applicable, in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any proceeds
from Fusion Capital we receive under the common stock purchase agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
At September 30, 2002, we were in
default for non-timely payment of principal and interest under notes payable we owed to our primary lender totaling $3.0 million at September 30, 2002. During October 2002, we executed an agreement with this lender under which we paid a
significantly reduced amount to retire this debt, eliminated remedies from this default, and eliminated a related lien on our intellectual property.
We are in default to equipment lessors for late payment of lease payments. We are currently in discussions with these lessors to try to reduce this debt, including the return of much of the related
leased equipment. As of September 30, 2002 we had leases payable to these lessors totaling approximately $2.9 million.
